Abstract

A high-order adiabatic-approximation method is proposed to study the time evolution of degenerate quantum-mechanical systems with slowly changing Hamiltonians. We not only discuss the quantum adiabatic theorem, induced gauge structure, and non-Abelian Berry's phase factors in the first-order approximation, but we also give nonadiabatic corrections for problems in the second-order approximation. With the nuclear quadrupole resonance as an explicit example, we analyze the above-mentioned questions in detail and point out the observable effects of non-Abelian Berry's phase factors for nonadiabatic transitions between two instantaneous states in an improvement of Tycko's experiment.
